... that many Haitians wished their government was cut off from aid money after the 2010 earthquake due to its record of corruption?
ALT1: ... that nearly $26 million of a $42.5 million Haitian education program went missing after it was partly raised from international phone-call taxes?
ALT2: ... that in May 2007, then-recently elected Haitian President Rene Préval declared a draconian measure that anyone found guilty of corruption was to be deemed an enemy of Haiti?
ALT3: ... that Haitian President Michel Martelly has been criticized for allegedly silencing anyone who publicly denounce his corruption?
ALT4: ... that despite receiving nearly four times as much aid in the past 50 years as all of post-war Europe following World War II, corruption in Haiti has hampered the nation's economic growth?
ALT5: ... that many Haitians largely disavowed the foreign aid given to their nation after the 2010 earthquake due to their belief it would be embezzled?
Overall: Some of the quotes are a bit on the long side and could do with being put into own words namely Elizabeth Abbott. It's below the level needed for copyright flag though. The article is very negative, but I think that is to be expected from one of the most corrupt countries in the world. I was rather hoping the original hook was backed up to a survey, but it's the opinion of a single resident as interviewed by the BBC. ALT1 is interesting and verified, although I added "partly", because some of it was raised by wire transfers. Also removed "simply" as this seems to be opinion and in my opinion embezzlement is rather complicated. I struck the rest as this was the most interesting and it's not expected for me to review all of them. Good to go with ALT1JollyΩJanner 07:15, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
